OUR PROGRAMS

Child & Adult Clinical Services (CACS)

The goal of the Child & Adult Clinical Services (CACS) is to assist clients in identifying their problems and solutions. The CACS program helps children, adults and their families work toward regaining emotional and psychological balance. CACS provides diagnostic evaluation and ongoing behavioral health treatment for children five to 18 years old and adults, age 18 years and older.

Our specialists include clinical social workers, medical social workers, case managers, behavioral and crisis intervention specialist and educational consultants. CACS also serves as a training site for graduate students from several universities.

CACS uses a range of evidence-based treatment models. Therapists have also been trained in a variety of trauma informed models to address some conditions such as: depression, anxiety, and difficulty with interpersonal relationships, loss, crisis, trauma, problems in school, and other behaviors.

The 1st C.L.A.S.S. ("Character, Leadership and Student Success") initiative at the Fred D. Wish Museum School in Hartford, CT operates during out-of-school hours and provides students with activities that supplement their regular academic, social, emotional and recreational programs and supports. This school-community-police partnership also engages parents as fully as possible.

In the Spring of 2014, HCTC partnered with LiveKind to produce videos utilizing students involved in our afterschool and mentoring programs at Fred D. Wish Elementary School.

Love & Support, Student Creed, Getting Along, Homework and Bullying are discussed and addressed in these clips where the students are the “stars” and their stories are the scripts, conversation starters, and the lessons.

The HCRT is a mobile team of mental health professionals (social workers, community behavioral health workers, faith members and gang intervention specialist). The Team responds to violent crime victims or potential crime victims in the community, usually visiting them at hospitals, homes or schools.
